HOW TO: Relocate AWC button to the dash
I take no credit for this modification as it was done by "tjwphoto" on EvolutionM.net. I brought up the idea but he carried it out. This is a good mod to do if you're annoyed at only having the one button sitting below the shifter out of three possible buttons, and having an extra slot or two open up where the TCS button on the dash is located. You could relocate the AWC button up there and replace the blank buttons with the OEM cubby tray that comes on the standard Lancers to hold a phone or iPod or whatever. This guide is word for word by "tjwphoto".

I did this today and was successful, very easy to do just time consuming. I relocated mine to the left of the TCS instead because it's easier to see and get to while driving, and from where I sit I can see both buttons.

Good info! I have been thinking about doing this, but I really wanted to move the TCC to the center console. I'm thinking the wires are not long enough, but have yet to look into it.

Any advice on how to properly take out the blank to the right of the ACS button as I want to put in a rocker switch for my new LED interior lights.

Ok maybe I should clearify I am 6 ft 1 inch tall and 270 lbs I have a 50 inch chest and a 19 inch neck and a pumpkin for a head LOL !
I don't exactly fit into the footwell and I am not removing my drivers seat to do this. I can't get my hand through the fuse door to see or feel the back of the blank. So what are my options and pry what clips which way from the back the front left right up down????? Any help would be appreciated. My final option would be to simply use a dremal and cut out a rectangle opening into the blank to sit a blue glow rocker switch into the blank. I have the wiring ready to go. Sorry it just gets frusterating when these tiny little 165 lb guys are like you just do this and this its easy. It is if you can fit into the work space or can actually squeeze your head into a tight spot to see which clips need to come off etc. |

The easiest way to get back behind the fuse door is by removing both screws from the bottom of the knee panel, down near the OBDII port and the center console. That will enable you to move it, then very carefully start prying the panel downwards starting where the climate thermostat thing is next to the steering column, near the ignition. Be careful of the knee airbag, it's stationary so don't try removing it. Make your way over to the door and it will eventually come off, just held in by a few clips. Hope that helps. |
